*CATTLE DECAPITATION DRUMMER SEARCH!!!
As of March, 2006 Michael Laughlin has left Cattle Decapitation for personal reasons. Unfortunately, this leaves us in the predicament of trying to fulfill our upcoming tour obligations without a drummer. Therefore we are asking drummers that would be interested in filling in for our upcoming tours with Necrophagist and From a Second Story Window (with the potential of becoming a permanent member)to submit a recording(audio or video)of themselves playing either the song "No Future" off of our split with Caninus and/or "Reduced to Paste" from Humanure. Let it be clear that we are not looking for creative interpretations of the songs. A calypso version of "Reduced to Paste" is not necessary. We would like for prospective drummers to be able to play hit for hit what is being performed on the above recordings. Either you have it or you don't.
Sloppy double-bass or slow blasting is not acceptable.

Our live set will be approximately 35 minutes a night for the aforementioned tours, so applicants should be prepared for a barrage of learning over the course of the next five weeks. Basically, we need a human drum machine. We plan to have 5-6 brand new unreleased songs in our set in addition to various selections from the split with Caninus, Humanure, To Serve Man and Human Jerky for a total of around 11 songs. We will provide able prospects with recordings of the unreleased songs upon reception of successfully rendered versions of No Future or Reduced to Paste. A link to No Future and REDUCED TO PASTE can be found on our My Space site: www.myspace.com/cattledecapitation.

*ALBUM TITLE ANNOUNCEMENT!
Cattle Decapitation is happy to announce “Karma.Bloody.Karma.” as the title of the next record. NO, there is not any religious significance of the title. NO, the name does not imply that we’re “crazy vegans” trying to push our lifestyle onto people (as a lot of gabbing internet idiots like to pigeonhole us as). It is simply about the “greatest natural disaster of all time,” humanity, and revenge for its effect on this planet. This will be the most nihilistic, pessimistic and hateful record we’ve ever done lyrically, and musically you can expect, what one of our friends has said perfectly about it, a very “schitzophrenic” release! Imagine the Caninus split material, just longer in every way. Features guest appearances by Joey Karam(The Locust) and John Wiese(Sunn0))), Bastard Noise). Produced by Billy Anderson(Swans, Mr. Bungle, Melvins). Available June/July 2006!

*NEW RHYTHM GUITAR PLAYER!
We have a new addition to Cattle Decapitation. A new second guitar player by the name of Kevin “Fetus” Bernier of L.A.’s Watch Me Burn/Fetus Eaters/Deadfood/Vomitcore Records. He’s been an amazing friend of ours since the beginning and we’re very excited to start playing live with him. We’ll try our hardest to have him ready for the Necrophagist tour!

No, It's even worse than have a gory cover... you see... some people are affected by violence and blood and things like that. Some people wanto ban the cover because it is too explicit your their narrow minds. And others giva a damn about it.

Well, in this case you're using hindu god Shiva as the base for the illustration. Believe me guys, you're about to touch the most sensitive nerves of a lot of people, including the indian comunity. I don't really care, but they'll do. Remember what happened to the Aerosmith "Nine lives" cover? Take it for granted, you're searching for big troubles... Great!!!

I definitely hear ya. Our name alone has pissed off the Hindu community. We showed up at a couple shows only to find out a Hindu organization was trying to ban the show. With a name like that, I don't expect too many Hindus to be too stoked on us anyhow. I DO remember the nine lives cover. They backed out of that cover because they didn't want to offend anyone. We can't get around the fact that we're going to offend people. That's just what happens with us. Why would we want to offend a very docile religion? We don't. We're a very misunderstood band and I don't blame people. Sorry to those who are offended by it. I'm offended by idolatry. That's why I turn crosses upside down. I'm not going to take the time to explain this cover on a message board... at least not right now.. I'm too busy.

We don't want explantions, it's a great cover. Those stupid and narrow-minded people who think you're attacking some religion or promoting violence are just that, stupid persons. We all wanna hear the new material, especially those who don't have the chance to see you live. Do you like my "alternative" cover?

Sweet shit dudes. Come to Saratoga Winners again :) That show w/ cryptopsy and skinless was awesome. I think it was your guys last show and the cryptopsy dudes and roadies totally dismantled the drumkit, and Jon started to fuck with the effect pedals and shit.

and i dont think hindus are going to be pissed. I read somewhere that shiva is like the god of marijuana in hindu religion and when the celeberate shiva they drink like weed milk and totally get stoned. seriosuly how can they get pissed about a weed god.

I like how the other albums had very serious topics but still had the gore,that was awesome,I was amazed by that,but I guess they're won't be that much gore in this one,kinda reminds me of Chuck Schuldiner from DEATH,his first two albums were total gore,and he got on more serious topics on the second one,but kept the gore,then till about the 3rd or 4th release there was like no gore,but they still kicked fucking ass! so yea,not that bummed about the lack of gore,don't really need it when you have a clever ass songwriter like Travis

Well gore metal got exploited, as all forms of music eventually do. Now there's billions of "goregrind" bands out there. I got 20 year old kids calling us false! When I got into gore and death that kid was 3 or 4 years old.
